Mar 6, 2024 · 1000 words · 5 minute read Constraints don't always have to make things more difficult. What comes to mind when you hear the word constraint? Often, thoughts will immediately jump to the negative: a constraint as a barrier that makes it more difficult to accomplish a goal. This additional difficulty ca...

I hold an unpopular stance: code comments are as important as the code itself. OK, maybe that’s a little overstated, but I maintain that code comments are critical to code readability and maintainability. Before you see if I weigh more than a duck, please hear me out… When I was a college undergrad, I had the privil...

Every couple of years in software development, the meta changes. Libraries and frameworks are rotated in and out of popularity, languages evolve and best practices change. These are some of my personal beliefs on what the current meta is, and what parts are worth adopting.When it comes to following best practices, t...

Originally posted 2023-09-06 Tagged: software_engineering Obligatory disclaimer: all opinions are mine and not of my employer As the joke goes, the two hardest problems in computer science are 1) cache invalidation and 2) naming. Like all good jokes, there’s a kernel of truth in there. Naming is poetry; the perfect ...

When it comes to fighting climate change, I strongly believe that getting involved in politics is one of the most useful things you can do. But given how energy-intensive software is these days, writing more efficient software also seems worth doing, especially if your software is used at scale. However, whenever ef...

I am on the cusp (hopefully) of kicking off development of a fairly large and complex system (multiple integrated services, kafkas involved, background processes, multiple client frontends, etc…). It’s predominantly going to be built in rust (but that’s only trivially relevant; i.e. not following standard OOP). Here’s where i’m at: I have defined all the components, services, data stores to use / or develop...

Dependency solving in Nix

I’ve written a lot about the Nix build system over the past decade, but one complaint I keep coming across is that Nix requires dependency constraints to be “solved manually”. This is a sort of category-error: sure, it’s true that Nix doesn’t “solve dependency constraints”; in the same way that, say, /usr/bin/env do...

We’ve open sourced DotSlash, a tool that makes large executables available in source control with a negligible impact on repository size, thus avoiding I/O-heavy clone operations. With DotSlash, a set of platform-specific executables is replaced with a single script containing descriptors for the supported platforms...
